WALKING TOUR:
Unusual Florence
This itinerary is designed for visitors who may have been to Florence before and, having already seen the main monuments, wish to discover lesser-known treasures. Even seasoned travelers will be surprised by the understated beauty of many locations.
We hand-pick a selection of monuments for each Unusual Florence itinerary so the list of sites is always different. Here are examples of places we may visit on this tour:
Galileo’s Museum of the History of Science, with its superb collection of ancient scientific instruments
Santa Maria Novella’s Museum & Cloisters, among the best preserved Medieval spaces in Florence
The Opificio delle Pietre Dure, museum and working laboratory where stones and gems are turned into exquisite artifacts since the Renaissance
The Chiostro dello Scalzo’s unique monochrome frescoes
Andrea Del Sarto’s Last Supper, perhaps Florence’s least-known art treasure
…and many other sites
